record conversations
India recognises privacy as a constitutional right, and the Supreme Court has treated surreptitious recording of a private conversation without the other person's knowledge as capable of infringing privacy, though privacy may be balanced against competing lawful interests such as fair trial.
record phone calls
India recognises privacy as a constitutional right; for private calls, secret recording can raise privacy issues, while in regulated sectors official guidance may permit call recording with customer notice.
